Delve into the ancient art of stone tool-making! Long ago, the earliest humans transformed simple pieces of stone into sophisticated tools that revolutionized their lives. Many people are familiar with stone artifacts such as arrowheads created by traditional cultures in North America and around the world. Uncover the secrets behind these ancient techniques and create your own stone projectile points, similar to those used by traditional cultures across North America and around the world.

About the Instructor: Andrew Lee is a professional educator with over two decades of teaching experience. The bark baskets and stone bladed knives that he creates are ways that he expresses this love of history and nature. Andrew’s Bio: www.theprimitivearts.com/about

About the class: Each student will be given a large piece of stone and, using a smooth cobble as a hammerstone, shown how to remove a “flake”, or small piece. Next, they will be given a pressure flaker tool and instructed how to thin and shape their flakes into a finished arrowhead. Each student will have the opportunity to create several projectile points, and they will take home their finished pieces and the pressure flaker, as well as several additional flakes to complete on their own.
No prior knowledge of or experience with flintknapping is necessary. All materials and tools will be provided. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for hands-on activities.
